What is HAF?

The Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF) is funding from the Department for Education (DfE) to be used for providing free school holiday activities, including a meal and health food education, to school-aged children and young people who receive benefits-related free school meals (FSM).

How do I book a HAF session?

Spaces are booked via Bristol City Council's website:
​
Bizzy Kidz Club @ Frome Vale Academy with Bizzy Kidz Club · Eequ 

The team at Bristol City Council check your eligibility before Bizzy Kidz Club can accept or decline your booking request. 


Can my child attend if they have additional needs?
 

We aim to be as inclusive as possible. If your child has additional needs, please contact us before booking to discuss how we can best accommodate them. If your child requires a 1-1 support in a school-based setting or attends a setting with very low ratios, we require a 1-1 at club for safety reasons.
 

If your child has additional needs and you do not inform us prior to your booking, we reserve the right to ask the parent/carer to come and collect their child. No refund will be available.
 

All children attending holiday clubs, irrespective of age, are expected to use the toilet independently. Bizzy Kidz Club staff are not expected to wipe, change nappies or assist children with toileting. We are aware that accidents can occasionally happen, and we will help the children when required to do so. If this a regular occurrence, parents will be contacted about a plan of action going forward.
